Trooper Station, Friday

All of the desk drawers were full of coffee today. Which Liam found out to his dismay when he reached for a pen and got a dunking in (lukewarm, thank small miracles) liquid instead.

“Yeah,” Calvin said airily. “That happens sometimes.”

Neat.

"This has probably never literally happened before," Rosa refuted almost instantly, because she honestly felt like she'd been here forever now, and it'd never happened while she was here, and she'd like to think there would be some record of it somewhere.

She was mostly just cranky because she couldn't figure out which would be better: the usual stuff Ralph made or lukewarm coffee from a desk drawer. But both were terrible enough to drive her to a mug of tea instead.

"But at least it's not rats."

Sooooo many rats in the Nine-nine. Soooo many rats everywhere.

"Nope, I take it back," she'd opened bottom drawer on her desk with her foot. "Found one. He's got a boat."

Which oddly made this whole thing feel...more normal to her.

Huh.

Oh, it had definitely happened before. Just, way before either Rosa's or even Liam's time here and the player couldn't find the damned original post but IT EXISTS.

"... Definitely a rat, and not a mouse?" Liam checked. He was reasonably certain of the answer, because there had been no cries of "HAIL!" or other exultations upon Rosa opening the drawer, but that sort of thing was entirely in line with what he expected of the Aeslin, so he had to check.
